Monitoring refrigerator temperatures are crucial when you have vaccines in your pharmacy. However sometimes this simple task can become a major hassle because you have so many other things you are trying to get done.

We have found a product that keeps track of your refrigerator temperatures and alerts you when temperatures get to cold or warm.

I introduce to you Fridge-tag®

Questions to ask yourself

Does your refrigerator have a good seal?

Did you make sure that it closed completely last night before you went home?

What happens if the power goes out, how will you know if the temperature in the refrigerator held?

Are you remembering to record two temperatures readings a day?

An easy solution to these questions can be resolved Fridge-tag® by Berlinger USA.
